Extra Bars

Important
I have recently uploaded the initial release for the successor (replacement) to Extra Bars called Button Forge.
Button forge addresses several of the problems present in Extra Bars (such as Companions sometimes causing an error at first login, poor performance in certain scenerios etc), perhaps the biggest change is the ability to create as many or few bars and buttons as you choose.
I encourage you to take a look:

Note: I have uploaded a v4.0.1 compatible version of Extra Bars now! (I only plan to provide basic support for this addon, but I will try to keep it operational for the time being... I may have a longer term plan if I find the time at a later date i.e. Extra Bars using the Button Forge engine which is a better engine)

(Both addons can operate side by side if you want to give it a try first)

Custom interface for key bindings (to allow the next feature to be viable)

Dynamic creation of extra buttons and bars (as many or few as you desire)

Conditional bar display (based on macro conditionals)

Possible future features:

Provide extra display info on the buttons such as cooldown times

Buttonfacade or other skinning addon support ?!?

Hi I've just uploaded a significant (though in a lot of ways subtle) update.
I skipped 2.0.0 here as I anticipated a few teething problems, but it wasn't too bad... anyway here are the changes:

04-Oct-2016 v2.0.1
- Addressed bug where on first login Items would not trigger off EB buttons
- No longer attempt to show a tooltip for items that the player no longer holds (resulted in a silent error)
- Equipment sets wont show up as disabled when you log back in (it was a visual only issue)

27-Sep-2016 v2.0.0
- Complete overhaul of the underlying Button Engine
- Proper Support for Flyout spells, and Equipment sets
- Spell Glow now included
- Hides the faint config button when bar is locked in place
- Adjusted names of config options
- Improved performance (should be)
- AlternateButtonTemplate is no longer required (my very first wow addon)
- Updated to Masque support (Button Facade is no longer supported)
- Ability to set Flyout direction
- Others???
- (we skipped v1 numbering... Really in essense Extra Bars has been release for a long long time, so going to v2 felt appropriate)

So the next expansion is just about upon us, so I figured I'd take the moment to do a blog post about Extra Bars and WoW.

But in a nutshell, I'll be continuing support for both addons in WoD

It is a long post but if you wanted to read a bit of history and my thoughts on it all here's the link (it's on the curse BF addon page

I'll just add this as well;

Although I created Button Forge to replace Extra Bars which I had planned to desupport in time, I discovered there were a number of players who preferred the very straight forward nature of Extra Bars (and others who had found inventive ways of using it that Button Forge didn't do).

So while I see people are still downloading EB, I'll consider it something worth my time to keep working... Although I don't intend any major new features, I know some cleanup is still required to the UI (that faint glowy config button in particular - it seemed like a good idea at the time :$ ).

I've just uploaded v0.7.18 as yesterdays upload may have still caused problems for some people.

The first time you logon with this version it will clear your mounts and battlepets from the extrabars as WoW uses new values to track these and I wasn't able to map them (in the case of battlepets it potentially would cause outright errors); but you should be able to add them back on and be good to go again.

Extra Bars has been updated to v0.7.17 - This will support the newly released WoW v6.0.2

p.s. I'll try and post a bit of an update on me and my plans regarding Extra Bars - but the tldr will be I hope to continue to support it through WoD and improve a few outstanding issues in it as time permits.

is it possible to hide the drag thing? when I lock the bars, its still visible.

It isn't possible currently, but it is something I could look at altering, I'm not too sure when the next feature change for Extra Bars will be though (I'm currently, slowly getting a new v of Button Forge ready).

This is just a confirm that I will be updating Extra Bars hopefully in the next 24hrs (I've run out of time tonight) - I expect that errors will occur when Battlepets are on the bar, but if you get other issues please let me know.

Glauck, at the moment there isn't the ability to have fully red buttons on range, and unfortunately range addons aren't able to interact with this addon.
This is an often requested feature for Button Forge and something I can hopefully add to it sooner rather than later - if it proves to be fairly straight forward I should also be able to port the option to Extra Bars.
